A heaviness of spirit may interfere with your ability to derive joy from your life today. A newfound tendency to view the world through critical eyes can haunt you by making you feel dissatisfied with your environment, your relationships, and your personal pursuits. This judgmental attitude may prove problematic if you allow it to foment real dissatisfaction within your mind and heart. Before you can regain your positive demeanor, you will likely need to take the time to assess what you can and cannot change in your life. As you resist the temptation to modify what is likely fixed, you may find that you have more energy to devote to those elements of your life that you have the ability to amend.

We can create environments perfectly suited to our needs when we take a twofold approach to change—accepting what is beyond our control and actively striving to transform the variable elements of our lives that dissatisfy us. Often it is those aspects of life we cannot change that have the most powerful impact on our moods. Yet by simply recognizing our limitations, we empower ourselves to shift the whole of our attention to the practical transformations that are within the range of our capabilities. We can channel the judgments we make into positive exploits that both fulfill our need for adaptive action and ensure that our outer world concerns meet our expectations. When you use your adaptive abilities to change your world today, your judgmental feelings will disappear as you realize the true potential of your environment.
